Photo Manipulation - Shroomin

My first piece of photo manipulation, this was created using a friends photo of tie a dye patterned throw, I manipulated the photo using photoshop to create a hallucinogenic vision of the pattern. I played with layer blending options and played with gradients to achieve the lit from below look.

Fan Art - Battle Angel Alita

Another copy from the comic series Battle Angel Alita, sketched in pencil, and then I played with the colour filters in Photoshop to create the eerie colour effect.

Fan Art - Battle Angel Alita

Another piece of fan art of Battle Angel Alita, this one was sketched in pencil, copied from a comic cover. Then scanned and edited in photoshop with gradient and layer blending options to give it a lit stone effect.

Digital Art - Soldier

Another learning curve in Photoshop, this time I played with the gradient and layer blending options to great the lighting effect in the background, the drawing was sketched in pencil and scanned, all edits in Adobe photoshop:
